The New Orleans Pelicans can not be happy with their embarrassing loss Wednesday night to the Utah Jazz.
After giving up 127 points in a 33-point loss, the Pelicans will need to respond quickly and with authority. That is, if they want to calm those already claiming their season a lost cause.
They will get that chance tonight, against a team that is starting to deal with a plethora of injuries.
The Minnesota Timberwolves.
Minnesota has the exact same record as the Pelicans do (20-33) through the first 53 games. Neither team is expected to make the playoffs this year and are seen a few years from real contention.
